Hi, after 30 times mounting my filesystem without checking it it was checked automaticly while boot up. All disks checked without problems except /usr partition.

How to know the loading sequence/time of modules during boot?

location: linuxquestions.com - date: May 17, 2015
Hello, the "lsmod" give the list of the loaded modules/drivers. How to know when was theier loading time (start/end) ? Is there any existing log file where that information can be seen ? For another topic, see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5362257, I am thinking the unfinished loading of a specific module (ehci-pci or other pci driver) or the loading of a module before another one, could disturb the loading of a module e1000e during a cold boot. Thanks a lot for any help. Printing a bootchart? http://www.bootchart.org/images/bootchart.png Something else?

"fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot" after chaning nonsystem partition

location: linuxquestions.com - date: August 1, 2005
I was replacing partitions with the suse partitioner. I had 3 primary partitions(swap, / and home) at the begining of my drive and an extended partition at the end. The extended partition contained a 20 gig ext3 partition, a 20 gig reiser partition, and a 70 gig fat32 partition at the end of it. I deleted the fat32 logical partition, and replaced it with a 63 gig reiser partition and a 7 gig fat partition, but after I hit finish it gave some kind of error message about not being able to mount something, (IIRC the 20 gig reiser logical partition). When I rebooted it wouldn't start up normally, these are the last lines after booting: "Loading console font lat9w-16.psfu -m trivial (K fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot.

How to restore Ubuntu OS to a different partition using Clonezilla

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: March 11, 2013
On my laptop I have multiple operating system (OS) partitions and one data partition. The OS's include a Windows partition and multiple Ubuntu partitions of various types and vintage. Recently I have trashed my main OS (Precise Pangolin 12.04.1) several times by doing updates or installing new programs. Because it takes me considerable time to re-customize the system, I decided to backup my OS including my customizations. (I have always backed up my data partition using LuckyBackup.) I wanted to be able to have a duplicate of my main OS in another partition, both to prove that I could do a restore and to have it ready, when I next trashed my main OS. It took me some experimenting to achieve this so I thought I would write it up. I chose Clonezilla as the backup/restore tool. Clonezilla clones the OS exactly. See http://clonezilla.org/ . 1. Downloaded clonezilla-live-2.0.1-15-i486.iso from http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php .. 2. Used Basero to burn an iso image to a c

How to repair a partition table?

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: July 3, 2009
While copying files to an ext3 USB drive I received an error message that the drive could not be written to, and it had unmounted. Remounting it was no longer possible and it appears that sector 0 is corrupted. When attempting to mount the drive all that happens is an entry appears in /dev for sdb, but not partition sdb1. Gparted does not recognize the drive nor any other command I can think of. Is there a tool which can be used to manually repair the partition table? I have over 200 GB of data I wouldlike to retrieve.

Assistance using fsck to recover ext3 LVM partition

location: linuxquestions.com - date: November 1, 2006
Hey all, I am running kernel 2.6.17-1.2186_FC5smp. I have four 250GB drives, hda, hdb, sda, sdb. hdb has a boot, root, and swap partition, totalling about 20GB of space. The remainder of hdb is part of a LVM volume group, along with the other three drives. The LVM group has been configured to mount at /dev/video. It is formatted for ext3. This box is dedicated to running MythTV. I noticed a few days ago that MythTV wasn't running. My attempts to start the service failed. Upon further investigation I discoverd that I couldn't access /video, despite the rest of the computer working fine. It had probably been in this working-but-no-access-to-/video state for several days. I rebooted. Upon reboot, fsck fails on the /video partition. It says: "fsck.ext3: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/VolGroup/Video. Could this be a zero-length partition?"
